Tender Details
The primary objective of the RIFOBA project is to examine whether and in what form a scientifically reliable assessment concept for ecological risk, derived from the expression of functional properties (FE) of non-native, potentially forestry-relevant tree species in Germany, can be developed. Ecological risk refers to the probability and potential extent of negative impacts of an alien species on biodiversity, species composition or key ecosystem processes in a specific reference area as a result of its establishment and spread.
The subject of the assessment are alien tree species for which a nature conservation invasiveness assessment according to Nehring et al. 2025, or Nehring and Rabitsch (2025), are not available, but are already being cultivated in Germany or whose future relevance is already being discussed in forestry circles and whose cultivation is therefore being tested.
RIFOBA is therefore explicitly designed to be open-ended. It should be investigated,
- whether FE are suitable for validly mapping the ecological risk of alien tree species,
- whether sufficient empirical bases exist for this, ...
